Hedge Matching Service with Hedges Direct

Most of our customers know exactly what they want to buy, but some customers know what they want but don't know what it's called. This can be critical if you're infilling or extending an existing hedge or perhaps you want a hedge to match your neighbour or you've seen a hedge you love but don't know the variety. So, if you're not sure, please make use of our FREE hedge matching service.

Most of our customers send us photos via email: close ups of the leaves are particularly important, but it can often also be helpful to show the established hedge in proportion to other features, such as a car, person or building. Photos along, with as much description about the hedge and it's location should be sent to helpdesk@hedgesdirect.co.uk with "Hedge Matching Service" or similar in the email subject if possible.

Alternatively, simply put a handful of leaves, flowers, berries, haws, cones or any other identifying material into a sealed plastic food bag with a few drops of water, enclosing your name and email address whilst letting us know how many plants you'll need and the height of your existing or required hedge. We ask that you send this to us via Royal Mail 1st Class to:

Five Acres Nursery, Dawbers Lane, Euxton, Lancs PR7 6EE

Root Types Summary

×

Bare Roots

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

Pot Grown

Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

Root Ball

Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
